Finally found out Anthony Joshua's gate numbers

[champion4ever]

He needs Joshua to get a vegas fight, i agree. He can't even sell out an arena in his hometown.

I've heard Eddie Hearn once said from his own lips say that in the U.K. They generate about 2/3 of their revenue at the live gate and only a 1/3 of it on television.

You obviously heard wrong. Just like you thought Wilder fought in Vegas when he can't draw flies even though he's shit.

The reason why boxing is so popular in the U.K. Because you guys believe in slicing the ticket prices and pay per view buys. The average ticket price at Wembley goes for about $125.00 and your typical Pay Per view buy goes for around $26.00. No wonder boxing is generating so much revenue and popularity in the U.K.

Wilders ticket prices have been cheaper and he hasn't been on PPV, so what's his excuse?

Ok fair enough! Let's use this hypothetical. If Wilder was to relocate to the U.K. How popular would he be?

Not very. How many non UK fighters have been big UK draws?

FFS you know nothing. Obviously a casual.

But you are considering yourself a boxing fan right? He would then gain citizenship and fight for your side.

[Manlikefemi]

I will never understand the gloating of U.S fans who could never afford or get a chance to see a big fight. Boxing used to be for the working class and was watched by tens of thousands every time. Now we have people who think all fights should only be attended by celebrity's and wealthy people.

Total snobs if you ask me.

I've seen Hearn say he could easily charge 5 times more but has capped even ringside at £2,500, and I give him credit for that. Event and spectacle over money.

THAT last paragraph dosent sound like Eddie Hearn to me. Believe me, if he had a chance to raise ticket prices by five times, he would.

He just knows, he would struggle to sell tickets.

So I quoted you saying U.S PPV's are overpriced at $100 . Then ask you to name which ones aside from Mayweather/Pac were $100 . And you reply that You Wouldn't Know because you live in the U.K ?
This guy's a JOKE !!!

We don't get all of the USA's PPV's here.

Furthermore, many US based sites/Youtube content in blocked outside of America.

Hence, why I could not answer your question.

The gates for his fights are $10 million dollars. Putting 80-90k in a stadium and only getting a $10 mil gate. For comparison. Hopkins vs. Calzgaghe back in 2008 did a gate of $11 mil in Vegas with a crowd of 14,000. Neither one was a big name in America.



Aint no money for Wilder to fight AJ in the UK. If Wilder beats Fury in December then the AJ fight gotta be moved to America where they both can actually make some money. The $50 mil is only possible in America.

Fury roared as he began his post-fight news conference late Saturday night at Staples Center, where 17,698 generated a $3.5-million live gate
